Home Design Cool

Hey all! Happy almost new year!! What do you have planned for tonight? Ours will be low key, as we are most years anymore. We just eat, play and hang with the kiddo. Wild and crazy. ;) Today I wanted to show you how I turned the new chalkboard wall in the kitchen into a gallery wall to hold the Bub’s artwork. I showed you the Christmas version of the wall a couple weeks ago: The art on there started out like this: The small magnolia wreath didn’t make it up there, didn’t look right (I just...

So guys, it's almost time to say goodbye to the old and hello to the new. And, personally I'm soooo excited about what the new year may bring. From an interior design perspective, the Danish brand House Doctor Spring/Summer collection 2013 is leading the way. Here's a sneaky peek.Via House Doctor blog and Decor8Wow. I love the touches of pastels and greys against the industrial backdrop. Very cool. So, NEW YEAR'S EVE! What are you up to? Any exciting plans?! In case you're hosting...

You just know that the home of a graphic designer is going to be pretty cool, especially when they have an Art Nouveau house to play with. Davy Dooms, has made a bit of masterpiece out of his 850 metre square living space in Antwerp with all it's cool scandinavian designer touches. I also love the way photographer Niko Caignie has photographed it for Remodelista using interesting angles.Niko Caignie via RemodelistaWhat do you think? Your kind of home? I love the wooden touches used to soften and...

Hello all! I hope your holiday was just wonderful!! Ours was great, I am counting my blessings. I’m slowly starting to function after feeling like a sloth for the past couple of days. I started a bit of decluttering last night and my Dad and I took the Bub out sledding this morning which was a BLAST. I can’t remember the last time I did that. :) Today’s post is up late today because I’m still on Christmas break mode – and will be for the next week or so. I have both the hubs and the kiddo home...

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a fab Christmas, whether you were knee deep in snow, on a sunny beach somewhere or braving the rain like we've been in London (it's still coming down in rods!).

The Bub is in bed, I’m settling down to finish up the wrapping (almost done!!) and I just wanted to take a moment to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you once more. (The Bub thought Santa would want five cookies. I didn’t argue.) I hope it is absolutely lovely! I’ll be back in a few days! ...

Hello all! Can you believe it? It’s almost here! We had snow last night, a school delay this morning and then the Bub’s party this afternoon so I’m just now getting this post up! I wanted to share our home, decorated for Christmas with you. Some of the decor you’ve seen, some you haven’t. I toned down it BIG time this year. You may not think so after you see all these pics, but believe me, it’s toned. ;) I just added touches here and there, a bit simpler, but just as festive. I’m learning that...
